Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania 29149 13-Watt 120-Volt Compact Fluorescent MiniTwist Lamp with Medium Base, Warm White, 12 Pack #CF13ELMTWSTCVP
Customer Review: Good for the environment
Summary: 4 Stars
These 13 watt bulbs will save you a few bucks each year ,and will give you good light, but not as bright compared to a traditional 60 W bulb.. There is a slight delay when you turn them on, and they are not compatible with a dimmer. These are not the brightest CF light bulbs on the market, but are great deals for everyday uses, like placing them in the bathroom, or hallways. I would suggest using CF bulbs for places where you do not need super bright light, and will leave the light on for extended periods of time. These will save you on energy costs and help the environment.Customer Review: 13 watts and good night. ..
Summary: 4 Stars
I like these so much I replaced every incandescent light inside, and outside, the house. The electric meter spins slower now, and I feel good. ... It was kind of interesting, after I collected the removed incandescent lights, I did not know what to do with them. ... They still worked, as energy suckers, but they still worked. ... They could be used as replacements, but that would have defeated the purpose of the changing. ... In the end, I just chucked them into the recycle bin. ...Customer Review: I think these are a reasonable deal...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have found better prices, [...]. I have installed them throughout our house and note the following:
Noticeable reduction in power bill.
Perfectly reasonable light, especially in shaded lights.
Best for areas where lights are on for more than 30'.
Not good for closets or similar "off-on" situations.
Last for a long time.
Can't be used with dimmers.
Take a few bulbs to local recycler about twice a year.
Customer Review: What I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
The light is just right for all my rooms. They do last a long and save money. I have been using the Fluorescents for a long time and this is my first on-line order for light bulbs. Of course some of them came broken. All four corner light bulbs were broken. I didn't tell Amazon.com or expect a replacement.
Good value even with 4 broken. I recomment these to every one.
Customer Review: Not instant-on
Summary: 3 Stars
These bulbs are decent, but they do not light up instantly like some other models/brands. They take 1/2 - 1 second to come on, so they're not great for a hallway unless you would normally leave them on all of the time anyway.
The light color is very white. It's not too blue-ish or green-ish, but it's not as "soft" as the "soft white" of other brands; you won't mistake it for incandescent.
With those caveats, this is still a decent bulb. I'd buy a Sylvania CFL way before I'd buy a GE CFL.
